Bio-Diesel run Bus in Pune by Tatas

I read an article in the other thread of this forum about the launch of a Tata bus run by Blended Bio-Diesel in Pune. quoting ref.Express.com today. Mr.Sumantran of Tata Motors is kind enough to announce the quantum of waste lands somewhere around 150 million hectares suitable for growing Oil seeds like Jatropha and he is also hopeful to see a policy on Bio-Diesel soon. We know Tatas have huge potential in Research and Development atleast in Auto sector in particular considering their unassailable share of Indian Auto Market and its continued effort in providing Indigenous Technology in making cars,Buses,LCVs,HCVs, and even big trucks recently HYWA matching VOLVOS in India itself. Tatas have good brand value in all fields except in the case of Tea plantation Tatas have totally left the oil field vaccum when we saw them developing Rice-Bran oil in 1970s and the extraction of Nimbidin from Neem in 1990s. Today, thank God Tatas have come out to support Bio-Diesel and that to minimise emissions in cities and not their trucks operated by all sort of adulterated fuels on our Indian Roads very popular in Andhra and Maharshtra and even today one can notice a Tata truck carrying over loads infact doubling the permitted weight by the RTOs. Tatas are more active in other segments like communications,IT, instead of rendering any useful work for the Rural poor atleast in S.India. We know the reason may be their worst ever problem in 80s in oil sector due to strikes in their concerns forcing them to sell their Wonderful oil and Soap division rather destroyed their century old system of oil Technology in India gifted by Danish people.
